About the Organization

The Company

Go beyond. At Towers Watson, we are more than
individuals. We are a community focused on helping our colleagues
and clients thrive and succeed. Towers Watson is a leading global
professional services company that helps organizations improve
performance through effective people, financial and risk
management. With 14,000 associates around the world, we offer
solutions in the areas of benefits, talent management, rewards, and
risk and capital management.

We survey an entire employee population, or key segments, on an
ongoing or one-off basis, to monitor changes and trends in employee
views or to inform decisions about program design or communication
in conjunction with one or more change initiatives.

We are a global leader in the growing field of employee
engagement research. We draw on a unique combination of advanced
analytics and leading-edge technology to deliver insights to our
clients in areas as diverse as leadership alignment and
performance, rewards optimization, culture alignment, workforce
well-being, safety, risk orientation and engagement.

The Role

As a Consultant you would work with a team of Analysts and
Senior Consultants in employee research and more broadly with
talent practitioners across Towers Watson’s Talent & Reward
business segment. You would be responsible for leading survey
project delivery teams and contributing to new business
development. We always deliver and sell in teams. In sales, at
times you would lead pursuits and at others you would be a
contributing member on a larger team. Proportionally, the role
involves approximately 50% of time spent on business development
and 50% spent on management of survey projects.

Role may be out of either our Dallas, Texas or Southern
California offices.
